This is a TWRP backup of the stock firmware for V510 GPE GPAD 8.3. They have already been updated. It is completely stock no mods, no root, no busybox. This should ensure that you are able to take future OTAs without issue. Many GPE users have been having problems with the OTAs. The reason is that the OTA does a system verification and any type of modification causes it to fail.

How to flash this:

1. Reboot into bootloader
2. Flash TWRP if you don't already have it. Current version is 2.8.1.0 fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxxxxxxx.img (where xxxxx is the filename)
3. Reboot System
4. Copy the entire contents of the zip file to your TWRP/BACKUPS/LG0000XXXXXXXX folder. Make sure you copy the folder 2014-11-30--23-35-25 LRX21P.L004 or 2014-06-26--18-41-18 KTU84P.L002. If you don't have a backups folder, create one in TWRP by choosing Backup, then backup something like the boot partition.
5. Reboot to Recovery Vol Dwn+Pwr or adb reboot recovery.
6. Choose Restore and select 2014-11-30--23-35-25 LRX21P.L004 or 2014-06-26--18-41-18 KTU84P.L002
7. Once finished Reboot System.
8. Upon boot you should be greeted with the usual Setup screens.
9. Reboot into bootloader
10. (Optional for Kit Kat) Flash stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery 17-recovery.img
11. Reboot into system
.
Flashing the stock recovery is optional however if you want a completely stock experience and ensure future OTAs, you probably want to do so. Also note that you must unroot to take any future OTAs.
To reroot flash latest version of TWRP.

You did an excellent job on this thread. Thanks for doing this for our small community.

BTW: regarding recovery for our device, the latest (and in fact only) that I see is TWRP 2.7.0.1 in the Original Android Development section.

Agreed. I wasn't able to flash 4.4.4 any other way. Tried everything, kept getting errors. This finally worked!

Figured it will come in handy to have this online for everyone in the future...when I bought the device when it was announced thought there would be more dev on it...but that hasn't been the case. Luckily we at least have twrp.

I was not able to update using your image and I don't know why. Everything was done correctly as far as I know. I downloaded and unpacked the zip and placed it in the back apps folder of TWRP and rebooted into recovery and tried restore with no success during the system restore it stops halfway through and says failed.
I tried downloading the file twice, installing the file from my computer, changing my SD card, deleting everything and trying, deleting just dalvik cache a,updating the partition separately, and was able to update the boot partition but not system and data. I honestly don't know what the trouble is as I was able to restore my own back up several times.if anybody has any insight into what is happening here please tell me. I would really like to install the update! I don't know why it is not allowing me to.

First off, I use solid explorer, dual pane. Very easy to navigate for me.

I only copied system. I didn't even wipe. All my data and settings were intact. As close to an OTA I could get. The system backup was 790.95mb

It sounds like you did everything right to me. I included a screen shot of what it looked like after i clicked the backup.zip and moved the unzipped backup to the TWRP backup folder.

Do I need to uninstall Xposed Framework, unroot, restore the stock kernel, etc., before restoring this system back up TWRP? I assume the answer is no, though I'll need to reinstall those afterward, but I figured I'd check first!

UPDATE: Never mind. I just went ahead and restored it successfully and am in the process of restoring my apps from TiBu now. Thanks again for providing this for those of us who couldn't upgrade to 4.4.4 any other way!

Hey guys,

first off thank you for posting this tutorial, I was able to perform the backup0 and am currently on 4.4.4.

I did, however, run into a slight hiccup when I was trying to flash the stock recovery. I kept getting messages about partitions and so forth. I entered in the following commands from beginning to end:

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery 17-recovery.img

but as I said I can't get the job done lol.

Any ideas?

A few things to check:

you need to have usb debugging checked on phone
you need the recovery image in same folder as your fastboot.exe/adb files
you need to cd to that directory/folder

    OP Updated with TWRP BACKUP LMY47O.L005 and stock LG LP Recovery.

    I will try to get the update uploaded, as soon as I update my Gpad.

    Reading through the OP again, it sounds like it isn't possible to have root, but with the stock recovery instead of TWRP, is that correct? If so, then it'll be this same TWRP process with each update versus a quick un-root, take update and re-root. Is that right?

    You can have root, but any modifications made to system or boot will cause the integrity check to fail when the OTA tries to apply/install itself. The easiest way to take the OTA, is to Restore the stock back up and boot image, then reflash the stock recovery in fastboot, boot into the OS and take the OTA. or just wait for me to upload any further updates. It will be interesting to see if this device gets Android M.
